About Me

ABOUT ME

I can't sit still. If there is a reason to go somewhere, I'm already out the door and 5 miles up the road be it a movie, trying a new restaurant or a random road trip. I am a tour guide, which fortunately feeds my active lifestyle and allows me to take time off for traveling to parks, monuments and points of interest in the surrounding region. It's easy to live on basics if all you want are experiences.

PLEASE READ “MY HOME” DESCRIPTION BEFORE REQUESTING TO SURF.

PHILOSOPHY

"No one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." - Theodore Roosevelt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To welcome and connect with fellow travelers who have a passion for adventure wherever life takes them! Sometimes getting lost is the best way to find ourselves.

Interests

I am deeply involved in any activity that contributes to my personal balance. My job helps me stay fit, and I try to put in extra effort at the pool or track whenever possible. I like to relax at night by watching some tv or a movie. Exploration feeds my spirit.
